In the first half, journalist Ivor Davis shared revelations about Elvis Presley, as we near the 48th anniversary of his death, as well as observations about the Beatles, whom Davis had firsthand experiences. He detailed Elvis' decline in the 1970s, recalling a Vegas performance where Elvis "was looking like a balloon" and even forgot the lyrics to "Are You Lonesome Tonight," leaving the audience "staggered." Davis emphasized the tragic dimension of Elvis' life, including the impact of his mother's death: "The death of Gladys began the destruction, I think, of Elvis because he loved her, and she was so close to him."
According to Davis, Elvis was jealous of the Beatles' success, especially after their historic Shea Stadium concert. He revealed that Elvis disparaged them to President Nixon, calling them "charlatans" who "bad mouthed America," a claim that alienated the British band. Davis contrasted the Beatles' influence on music with Presley's, with the Beatles credited for paving the way for future artists. He also recounted Presley's unusual request for a federal agent badge from Nixon, intended to help him avoid legal trouble, underscoring the singer's reliance on drugs and his entourage, known as the "Memphis Mafia." Davis also discussed drug use among the Beatles, emphasizing that all members struggled with substances at various points.
He touched on Presley's relationship with Colonel Tom Parker, his manager, stating Parker "manipulated Elvis" by pushing him into formulaic movies to generate revenue. Parker was both a relentless promoter and a controlling figure, who pressured Elvis into an unsustainable schedule, such as "800 performances at the Hilton Hotel" over his career, Davis continued. Additionally, there was also the enabling behavior of Elvis' entourage, with none of them urging Elvis to take better care of himself, for fear of getting on his bad side.

In the latter half, Maria Wheatley, a master dowser and researcher of ancient sites, delved into Stonehenge and the site's purported healing properties, as well as the elongated skull people. She challenged the conventional dating of Stonehenge to 2500 BC, arguing that carbon dating evidence suggests it could be as old as 8000 BC. Wheatley emphasized Stonehenge's role beyond a mere calendar, proposing it functioned as a "healing temple" aligned with Earth energies and sound frequencies. She described a particular stone with a hole that "miraculously" filled with water even during droughts, used by ancient visitors for healing ailments. According to her research, the magnetic properties of the stones and their placement on Earth's energy lines emit "infrasound and ultrasound" frequencies conducive to healing and can even possibly repair damaged DNA.
Wheatley concluded that the knowledge of Stonehenge's powers was not lost but "repressed," passed down through Druids, the Knights Templar, and secret societies, persisting in sacred architecture and spiritual traditions. She described Stonehenge as a site that "alters our state of consciousness," opening the "third eye" and facilitating psychic experiences. Regarding the Templars, she described them as spiritual "geomancers" who strategically positioned their churches atop potent Earth energies or ley lines.
Wheatley revealed her discovery of three types of elongated skulls at Cambridge University, describing them as "small in stature" with "long and elongated" craniums and "ear placements further back," giving them an "almost mythical fairy look." She suggested these skulls belonged to a "long lost legendary race." This group, along with a taller race of giants were linked to Stonehenge's region, she asserted, adding that "It's a repressed history... these two cultures prevailed" and archaeological and historical records support this.
